No one does, in good faith. It is false equivalency whataboutism to make themselves feel better about their associations.

Reality is, there are some things about motivation that are involuntary and subconscious. For all of us. When we ran track, occasionally we would run 200's in practice and our coach would get us to really treat them like the real deal, but we'd always run them faster if we had someone the same speed next to us than if we ran next to someone clearly slower or faster. AM had no real competition and he had a lot of 'savior praise' from his coach, the media, and the fans his sophomore year. Optimism was sky high, we ended his freshman year on a huge momentum run, and the hype and mood were unbelievably positive. Even if he's the most mentally determined player on the team, that will still have some kind of involuntary effect on your drive. That's not really an excuse, but rather an argument that we shouldn't (yet, at least) be overly worried about this imo.

So, this is Arizona. Home of two of the 14 PAC-12 teams. Are ADs from Washington State, Oregon, Colorado, etc. going to want to send their players to Arizona if cases continue to go up like this? And if Arizona and Arizona State have to drop out of the schedule this year, what happens to the rest of the conference? Shuffle the schedule? How many more states are in this predicament? And what's their college football landscape like? How many teams can opt out of the season before there isn't a season? Wear a mask if you want to watch football this year!

Numbers are numbers. Facts require some extrapolation. Intelligent answers are easily accessible if you ask the right questions. People who understand epidemiology, public health, statistics and risk assessment far better than you and I take the same numbers you have and come to several different conclusions. I'll stand by my previous posts, all of which admit we still have a lot to learn, including how the facts should influence public policy. I myself made a snarky Facebook post in February comparing the COVID threat to the common flu. Then I found out the differences were indeed substantial, according to the experts, and the evidence continues to be played out daily. The media has reported everything you claim they haven't reported, and several people here have linked you to the articles. When you say "you will never get these (facts) from most media outlets. why?" you tip your hand to a partisan conspiracy theory. You don't want to spell it out here in public, but that's clearly where you head is at. Meaning you're right: we will disagree forever.

I do find it interesting that a bunch of MAGA people I know (not here) are pissed off and demanding China government crack down on their food and health issues. Meanwhile, they are pissed off because the US has so many regulations. And...they don't see the irony of that.

Arky must feel good about this. It would be like a second wife being reassured that these are my final vows.

Looks like Nebraska is one of the teams featured in the Madden '21 story mode

We are in the middle of a pandemic where it looks like there is no end in sight. 125,000 dead. 20% real unemployment. Benefits about to end at end of this month. Housing crisis looming. And the GOP is running on....statues? Lol. Vote them the f#&% out.

I think another thing that is to consider not trying to get Russia back involved in a G7 summit. Inviting a country who actively was proxy killing your soldiers to come visit and meet with allies seems willfully ignorant at best, treasonous at worst.

I feel like someone used this recently but it applies again.

Sometimes I wonder if the GOP actually would consider jettisoning Trump. They stand to lose big in November if this keeps up.

Meanwhile the Chinese government is ACTUALLY cracking down on democracy in Hong Kong and rounding up religious minorities into work camps and STERILIZING them. But I would venture to guess most Americans and ESPECIALLY the MAGA crowd don't care because... it doesn't affect us. Rather sad reflection on what America values.

That's not, Athlon Official, that's Brandon Cavanaugh. The guy is a glorified message board poster who writes a billion articles for clicks, and they don't really say anything.

I mean I fully understand that NDJ comes here to push lazy right-wing memes moreso than discuss in good faith as our resident dogged Trump supporter, but sometimes it's fun to give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually hold some of his stated convictions.

' Ordinarily I'm in favor of letting hate speech go because it's protected free speech and it instantly ostracizes whomever said it from a societal perspective. But surely we can't say such things on private platforms and have expectations of not facing repercussions. People do not have a constitutional right to say whatever inflammatory stuff they want on private platforms and get a free pass. If I got up today and started telling people how much I hated a certain race or gays, Huskerboard would rightly take action, up to an including a ban. The Reddit story does not serve your argument. While they did ban biggest Trump subreddit, they also banned the largest far left subreddit, ChapoTrapHouse, whose ideology would make Bernie blush. Not because they didn't like their ideas, but because they consistently called for violence against politicians and broke Reddit's rules. Not really sure why you thin the Right is less violent than the left. Leftists are throwing paint on statues. Meanwhile: \ In the United States, right-wing violence is on the rise White nationalism-fueled violence is on the rise, but FBI is slow to call it domestic terrorism U.S. sees steady rise in violence by white supremacists

If I were GOP leadership Id probably be a scumbag human being so Id absolutely double down. If I dont, I look weak to my party. Trump is very popular within the Republican Party so I wouldnt want to piss off my base. The problem with this strategy is only about 25%-30% of the population are true Republican voters. The majority are independents and this strategy is not working with them. So i guess I double down with Trump still in power and once Trump loses go back to being the scumbag I was before Trump and hope I keep my job.

Had to wait for the data to be ready, but according to my little spreadsheet o'Rep, the top 25 Rep people posted 7,384 times from May 1 through July 1. From May 1 through July 1 over the past several years, we've had this many posts from that top 25: 2019 - 5,574 2018 - 6,140 2017 - 8,909 2016 - 6,474 2015 - 5,602 2014 - 8,390 The two outliers are 2014 and 2017 - Riley's first year and Frost's first year. So that generates a bit of excitement. The other years hover in a range between 5,000 & 6,000 posts, which is probably pretty normal for a message board during the main sport's off season. So, honestly, there hasn't been a drop-off in posting year over year, and there has been above-average activity here this year compared to other years. Probably because there's a lot of election, virus and protest talk in P&R, and a lot of talk throughout the board about whether we'll even have a season. Seems like the idea of a "ghost town" is probably more in your head, @Hooked on Huskers

If I were the GOP leadership, I would....... Where is the slash my wrists and jump out the highest window option? Anyways.... GOP leadership, any political party leadership in today's environment, is an oxymoron. These people do not lead, they serve at the alter of self interest. Whatever it takes to gain control, remain in control and fill their bank accounts. They don't give two sh#ts about us.

Why does he look less legit when Martinez was the starter last season despite lacking drive according to his coach?

Are they testing at the same rate we are? Positive tests if we are testing at a much higher rate doesn’t say much other than we are executing more tests. Does that mean we actually are doing worse at containing it? Or is it possible they are just testing less

If this thread has taught me anything it's that some people will create their own facts and pick and choose what they want to believe. The overwhelming evidence is that masks help limit the spread yet we have our own bunch of Einsteins that want to dispute that regardless how many times they're told and no matter what experts have to say about it. It's pure lunacy. I guess I shouldn't blame the idiots who spout this nonsense. In a way it isn't totally their own fault. Our society has made it virtually impossible to separate fact from fiction. There are way too many supposed news sources and way too many people in charge that thrive on bad information because it serves their ulterior motives. But I still won't cut anyone any slack that can't see the common sense in the good wearing a mask provides. It's so simple it hurts. If fewer of an infected persons respiratory droplets get out, anyone with a heartbeat should be able to figure out the benefit. Yet here we are, clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right. It's maddening.

The "coasting" thing, and this is my guess, is a bit of coach speak to light a fire. The effort that a D1 QB puts in...even to just be average, is insane. Also what @Landlord posted about the 5 things is pretty spot on. I don't think the costing one is really that big of an issue but the other 4 are dead on.

Wouldn't the fact that your team keeps losing and you haven't even made a bowl game recently be pretty dang motivating... "Didn't try very hard" or "didn't prepare" are pretty much the worst things to hear about any athlete.

I still think most of Martinez's regression last year was due to a drop off in the players around him. But not all of it...

I'm thinking we see the best AM yet this year. Healthy Better "potential" at the skill positions OL should be a strength Competition makes all the QB's better I still like Austin's comments as the run game coordinator If we don't have football.........

Lol I know this was going to be a hot take but I think standing 6ft 5in and 200 with a 4.6 forty and a live arm, that’s really damn good. His upside is extremely high.

It's kind of amazing to think that we thought with a freshman converted TE at center, losing the leading rusher and WR that there wouldn't be any kind of regression.

It's crazy how often the bartender thing is used as an insult by Republicans. Oh my goodness, she had to work as bartender to make money earlier in her career, why couldn't she just have her daddy fund her political campagin like a real politician.

Deaths/infections per capita my dude. That means that the numbers are adjusted to control for population size. You know our President has been trying for months to get us to test less, right? Also that our testing numbers per capita have caught up a good amount but spent way too much time wayyyyyy behind. In March the US had ONE corona virus test per every 1,000,000 people. South Korea had 2,000 tests per every 1m. Italy had 386. Switzerland 214, UK 199, etc. We had one.

She's the boogeyman to them. My guess is the fear stems from - she's a smart, educated, well-spoken, minority, fearless, woman, who pulled herself up from a modest up-bringing. She basically embodies what the right hates/fears.

Instead of reading his briefings, what was Trump doing on February 27?

I look forward to Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson's (Swanson poultry empire, La Jolla Country Day School and St. George's boarding School graduate, etc.) faux-populist campaign.

Its not a matter of just GOP leadership its the party as a whole and that includes the voters. They are too far gone. You can see it right here on this board with some people.

A good article on why former Trump supporters can't support him in 2020. The election has all of the markings of an electoral landslide. https://dnyuz.com/2020/07/01/meet-the-supporters-trump-has-lost/ Betting odds gives trump only a 33% chance of winning https://www.actionnetwork.com/politics/2020-election-odds-presidential-race-donald-trump-joe-biden

If AM is supposed to be the chosen leader and QB of the Frost regime it is concerning he did not live the mantra and didn’t give full effort last year. To build his culture you gotta have great leaders. Play hard, practice hard.

If you want Husker Football, wear a damn mask.

Idk. Why would a coach say that about a current player... unless said player still lacked motivation? If he truly is motivated now, why not let last season’s struggle be water under the bridge?

Is that because he sees our #1 threat in the mirror every day?

• Regressed offensive line • Unpredictable snaps • Loss of receiving corps • No drive of competition • Injury That's a bad 5 factor combo of performance degradation. If he stays healthy I think he'll rebound in a big way, assuming the pieces around him take another step as well.
